I have heard that one very effective way to potty train is to let them run around pantless for a few days. Since he is trying so hard, you may want to consider a smaller reward for his attempts each time he tries. Maybe you could go shopping for the hot wheels in advance and put it in the bathroom where he can see it. Then it is readily available when he reaches his goal.

As for stubborn H's, I think the whole point is that things on both sides need to change. Our spouses need to want things enough that they are willing to make changes too. If they don't, there is nothing we can do about it. I know, that is as frustrating as hell
